Making mats with natural locally growing grasses is a traditional craft all over India. These grasses are dried and woven with cotton twine. Often they are used in their natural colour and sometimes, special mats are woven using dyed fibres. For contemporary use, these mats have been made into table mats, desk accessories and mats. The trimmings are varied and artisans have experimented with colour, weaving techniques and dyeing.

From a simple humble mat used in every household, they have evolved into sophisticated products that retain the warmth and elegance of the original mat.

Ikat/Kotki: A technique of tie-dyeing the yarn/fibre so that the pattern is formed after weaving.
